    I got so many messages from you all asking what I use to track my spending. So I made my printable system available — it&apos;s the same one I talk about in my videos.<br><br>If you want it: <a href="https://thriftyhazel.gumroad.com/l/frugal-home-kit">https://thriftyhazel.gumroad.com/l/frugal-home-kit</a><br><br>But honestly, even a notebook and a pencil will do the job. The <br>habit matters more than the tool. 💛<br><br>Which tip from this video are you trying first? Tell me below — <br>I read every comment.

    I absolutely love these hints and advice. But I will NOT - repeat: NOT! - stop buying new hardcover books. Buying books and being in bookshops - these are my happy moments. I cannot possibly do without. ❤😊

    Nothing in &nbsp;the video was of any use to me as I was already doing all those things. Its just common sense.

    Adopt a cat. Save on therapy, counceling bills, provide heat, and entertainment, and oops there goes another mouse😂. Cats keep you sane, make you laugh and love. Adopt a cat.❤❤❤❤❤

    I stopped using paper towels. I use kitchen towels and white cotton washcloths in my kitchen. For spills or dog messes, I use my old worn out towels. For cleaning, I use stained cotton t-shirts that I cut up into rectangles or squares. No more expensive paper towels to be used once and thrown in the trash.

    I use rags but also cloth napkins in our house. Make my own floor cleaner. Stopped buying bottled water completely.

    I freeze left over coffee into cubes, add some milk, and S/F flavors blend and have a iced/ blended version works great

    Holiday Decor: I live near a wooded area and &nbsp;I just cut fresh cedar, pine branches, or coloured Autumn branches and gather some birch logs, and pinecones to bring free, authentic seasonal &nbsp;decor into my home.

    It&apos;s really quite simple. The more you do for yourself the cheaper things cost, and the money you save adds up. You might even learn some new skills in the process.
